Wine weekends!
Anita’s home served as the perfect spot for a weekend getaway with the guys. She responded quickly to all inquiries, provided clear instructions on how to access the Airbnb, and made herself available for any further questions. The space was clean and matched what was described in the listing. You can’t ask for a better location, only about 5-10 minutes from downtown by car. I highly recommend staying here and would return in the future.

Beautiful Victorian Treehouse|Btwn UVA +Dtwn Cvill
Had a great stay at this very clean and spacious home. It’s in a great location too where downtown Charlottesville is but a 5 minute drive and the UVA campus is about the same. Highly recommended choosing this home when coming to visit Charlottesville!

Stone Spring - Heated Salt Pool - on 2.5 Acres
Seth and Carla were extremely responsive during our stay! We loved how many beds this house had and we were able to all spend time together while comfortably being seated around tables/living rooms! We wish the fire pit had seating or that fireplaces worked, but we loved this property and its proximity to wineries and ski resorts!

Luray Mountain Home: Hot Tub, Game Room, Firepit!
We really enjoyed our time here and wished we could have stayed longer! The house was spacious and had beautiful mountain views. Our kids loved the large yard and game room. It was quiet and peaceful, yet only a quick drive to get groceries. The drive to Shenandoah was only 15-20 min too.

Wakefield Ct | Private Parking spots | Fast WiFi
This place was so well stocked and inviting. There was plenty of food in the refrigerator for breakfast. We did not need to buy anything at all. There was also a great deal of toiletries in case we forgot something. We really enjoyed this house.

"The Shire" at Hollow View: Crozet Farmhouse
Megan's place was just what we needed for a romantic getaway. Tucked away in the woods with quiet scenery, but not too far from Crozet and wineries, and about 30 min from Charlottesville proper. Friendly dogs greeted our pup as well, which was nice! The house was as expected, a rustic homey farmhouse with plenty of space and areas to roam for our pup. It was a cold winter day, so the house got a bit cold at night, but the heaters and an extra blanket were enough to keep us all warm. The rooms and bathroom were all clean and very tidy. We did not need much from the kitchen this stay, but there appeared to have all of the amenities. Megan was very responsive and was flexible allowing us early check-in and letting us know about possible road closures and best routes to take. Overall a wonderful place to stay as expected. Thank you!

Hot Tub | King Bed | Family/Dog Friendly | BBQ
Everything about our stay was great! The owner communicated everything we needed to know, house was spotless, and the centralized location to all of the resort’s activities was exactly what we were looking for. Would definitely stay again.

Wine Cellar Cottage | Walk to Downtown | Parking
We loved this house so much we wanted to move in 😁! Immaculate, comfortable beds, great living room. Stocked well with all the essentials from kitchen to bath!
Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Charlottesville

Ridgeview Retreat: Mountain Views and Pet Friendly
This was the first time that we rented this property and we truly enjoyed our stay. The house was very cozy, inviting and very clean. The beds and other furniture were very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with dishes, glassware, tools, pots, pans, etc. that were needed to prepare meals. The property landscaping, privacy and peaceful surroundings were all outstanding. We ate some of our meals on the back deck and enjoyed an evening where we built a fire in the firepit, roasted marshmallows, made smores, while engaging in great conversations and lots of laughs. The host and her team communicated clearly and very timely with us. I would definitely book this property again in the future.

The BlackPearl•Secluded•Hot tub 1.5 hs from DC
My wife and I had a great weekend at The Black Pearl. Bonfires and Hotub nights were awesome. Skyline drive is very close, should go if you haven't. The Black Pearl is a great escape from the busy world.

Pet-Friendly Country Farm House on Pond
Our stay at Golden Meadows was fantastic! It was our family of 3 (including a young child) and our 2 noisy mutts. We felt right at home and as many reviews mention, it was incredibly dog-friendly. Our city dogs really enjoyed being able to explore the large fenced yard. Rick was very welcoming and communicative, and we enjoyed learning more about the history of the property. We'll definitely be back!

7 Acres w/ Spa & Fire Pit, Near Shenandoah Park
Really enjoyed this stay. The host was communicative and the cabin is exactly as described. We really appreciated the detailed directions and instructions for arrival. Comfortable stay and the hot tub is a great bonus.

Bear Creek Inn
House was great! The creek in the front yard was gorgeous and a fan favorite for our German Shepherd. The rooms were very comfy. The sun room was our favorite spot to hangout while we were there! Some really great hikes within minutes of the house as well. Fire pit out back had everything we needed to get it going and the fenced in yard meant our pup could run around the whole time! 11/10

Spotted Fawn Cabin - Shenandoah VA
The cabin is beautiful and had plenty of room for us (6 adults, 3 kids & 1 infant). Everything was exactly how it is pictured! The hosts couldn’t have been nicer & were very accommodating. Location was perfect for all that we wanted to see including Luray Caverns & hiking Shenandoah National Park. Our family vacation was perfect and we look forward to staying there again in the future!

Pet Friendly Cabin-King Bed-Cozy Winter Getaway!
We spent the weekend here with extended family to celebrate our daughter's birthday and the space worked out perfectly. The home was beautiful, very comfortable and very clean. The setting was very peaceful and a great location. Darryl was a wonderful host and very responsive when we had questions. Definitely a place to come back to!

Scenic Blue Ridge Sanctuary
My girl friends and I wanted to meet in this part of Virginia to check out the local wineries, do a little hiking, and visit a few antique stores and/or vintage markets. We decided on Karen's place, which was a perfect fit for us. Her home is beautiful, super clean, easy to find, and has gorgeous views out of the many windows. While we were able to enjoy the fireplace, it was still a little too cold to enjoy the outdoor spaces. We may need to plan a return visit to check out some more of the local wineries and be able to enjoy Karen's deck, screened-in porch, and yard! The kitchen was extremely well-stocked, bathrooms were clean, bedrooms were quiet, and the living spaces worked well for the three of us. I would highly recommend Karen's place in Waynesboro, VA!

Private Couples getaway with HOT TUB.
Nice place I really enjoyed the night this a really peaceful place

Luxurious Cabin By the Creek! Inground pool! Spa!
I can’t say enough great things about this cabin and the Super hosts that made sure every detail of our stay was comfortable!! We drove 14hrs to stay here and when we parked and stepped out on the property you can hear the soothing sound of the running stream surrounding the property, they had the hot tub turned on and every bit of this place was spotless and cozy!! They did not leave anything out. First time I’ve ever rated an air bnb stay but this place was well deserving of praise.

Mid-Century Modern Cool: Hot Tub~Grill~Pool Access
Great mountain house! House was clean and had everything we needed. The host sent us local recommendations and checkin/out was easy!

6BR Modern Massanutten Chalet with Hot Tub, Sauna
We had a very good stay at the location. Amy and Chris communicated really well. We enjoyed the huge hall and backyard thoroughly.

Jax Mountain Getaway*MovieRoom*Hot Tub*yard games*
Great place for a family getaway! We had our original listing cancel 24 hours before we were supposed to check in. Andrea made sure their place was in perfect condition even last minute! We were so thankful to find such an incredible place to stay and it was very helpful that the check in process was so flexible and easy! Located 10-15 minutes from many things to do in Luray and Shenandoah made it easy to enjoy various attraction but also gave you the ability to come back to a cozy home that gave you comfort and privacy. We have young children and they loved the games and exploring in the forest! We look forward for a chance to come back!

Ski-In/Ski-Out Renovated Chalet on Lower Tyro
Absolutely a 5 star stay!! Super cozy home in a beautiful location with a great view. The home is stocked with everything you could need to feel right at home (and labeled, making things very easy to find!). Everything inside was also extremely clean and tidy. My friends and I would definitely book again for another girls weekend away.

7th Hole Chalet - Hot Tub / Sauna / 3 Fireplaces
We really enjoyed our stay. The house is pretty and exactly as pictured. Brian was responsive to almost every question we had and provided a flexible check out at the last minute. It was a perfect set up for our kiddos to run around outside and enjoy themselves as well.

Misty Mountain Cabin w/spa
Misty’s cabin was a great place to spend a weekend in the woods. Though a slight issue arose upon our arrival, they were extremely communicative and had the issue fixed in a timely manner. The cabin itself has a stunning view of the mountains and feels secluded. We would definitely return.
